The Essential Talmud is a masterful introduction to the beliefs, attitudes, and methods of the sacred text by which the Jewish people have lived and survived through the ages-by the renowned Israeli rabbi, scholar, and teacher. Rabbi Steinsaltz is the first to capture the flavor and spirit of the Talmud as a human document and to summarize its main principles as an expression of divine law. This expanded edition features a new preface by the rabbi, a historical overview of life in the times of the Talmud, and an in-depth look at the content and appearance of the original Talmudic page. This seminal volume makes abundantly clear the importance of the Talmud in the lives of modern Jews. "e;This book is indispensable to those, Jews and Christians alike, who would like to gain an insight into what it is that moves the contemporary Jew."e; (Rabbi Solomon S. Bernards, B'Nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League)REVIEW: "e;Offers a fascinating introduction to the codified oral tradition."e; (Christianity Today)
